Question

Version: Windchill 12.1

 

Use Case: I need to customize the order of which tabs are displayed on the Part. In my case, Custom-ActionModels.xml I only have the structure tab, because, when I create a sub-type(like TestPart), I want it to start from a clean layout, nothing else except Structure tab should be there but I do not mention the 'Details' tab in the xml, and create in in UI using customize option, the Structure tab is always coming first. I am able to drag and reorder but that order will not be the same for all users. How can I get the Details tab first, without having it in the xml?

When I drag and reorder the tabs, it only applies for that sub-type, and it's per user. All users will have to drag and re-order the tabs, for all kinds of sub-types we have, which is not the ideal solution for my situation. Therefore, I'm looking to see if there is any other workaround for this problem. Thanks!

Hi @11025060 

You can generally change the order for all types of the object. It is possible in xml files for EPMDocument, WTDocument,WTPart etc. 

But there is no configuration for subtypes.

So the workaround does not exist

 

Also information for the drag and drop is saved in cookies .
